tracing: Fix kconfig warning due to a typo
Commit f3f096cfe ("tracing: Provide trace events interface for
uprobes") throws a warning about unmet dependencies.
The exact warning message is:
warning: (UPROBE_EVENT) selects UPROBES which has unmet direct dependencies (UPROBE_EVENTS && PERF_EVENTS)
This is due to a typo in arch/Kconfig file. Fix similar typos in
the uprobetracer documentation.
Also add sample format of a uprobe event in the uprobetracer
documentation as suggested by Masami Hiramatsu.

Uprobe based trace events are similar to kprobe based trace events.
